Aml Ameen: Stop Waiting For Permission | Set Tracker Podcast Ep. 16

Aml Ameen joins Set Tracker for a full conversation about betting on yourself, building a career across acting, directing, writing, and producing, and learning how to keep moving when the industry tells you to wait. Aml reflects on his early leap from the UK to America, the agent meetings that all ended in rejection, the phone call that changed his career, and the mindset that helped him book his first U.S. series just weeks later. We also talk about Netflix’s Legends, the craft of acting, working with directors, method acting, money and ego in Hollywood, taking creative risks, and what it means to build a long career without waiting for permission.
